<![CDATA[Background: Breast milk (ASI) is the best source of nutrition for infants, especially during the first six months of life. Breast milk production is strongly influenced by prolactin, which stimulates milk synthesis, and oxytocin, which plays a role in the let-down reflex. Stress, fatigue, and lack of stimulation may inhibit oxytocin secretion, thereby reducing milk flow. Methods: This study employed a literature review approach by searching articles through PubMed, ScienceDirect, and Google Scholar. Results: The literature review findings show that oxytocin massage has been proven effective in increasing both the production and flow of breast milk in breastfeeding mothers. Conclusion: Although oxytocin massage has been found to be effective in enhancing breast milk production and flow among breastfeeding mothers, further studies with randomized controlled trial designs and larger sample sizes are still needed to strengthen the scientific evidence regarding its effectiveness in supporting lactation.]]>
